Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: Improved energy security of the energy system by offering cost-effective and efficient solutions for additional diverse and flexible energy storage capacities. Improve the sustainability and circularity of energy storage systems. Enhanced economic viability of energy storage by utilizing existing infrastructures. Scope: Demonstration of novel or improved technological solutions for cost-efficient, circular and sustainable energy storage, which contribute to grid flexibility and make use of existing obsolete or outdated energy or other infrastructures. Proposals should integrate the synergies between novel or improved energy storage technologies and retrofitting of obsolete or outdated infrastructures, like e.g. old hydropower dams and basins, decommissioned power plants, former industrial facilities, coal mines, fossil fuel infrastructure etc. by optimizing at the same time storage capacity and efficiency as well as circularity and socioeconomic and environmental sustainability, which should be addressed, e.g. by stakeholder outreach and consideration of possible environmental impacts. Furthermore, proposals should follow secure by design approach and integrate built-in security in the energy systems. Selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative [1] and actively participate in its activities. null Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-8 by the end of the project – see General Annex B. Activities may start at any TRL. [1] https://bridge-smart-grid-storage-systems-digital-projects.ec.europa.eu/

The mix of organisations
Who coordinated them
Coordinating an EU project is a demanding, specific job. These organisations have done it on this topic line before.
This is the shape, not the consortium. It says how many partners these projects had and what kinds of organisation were in them. It does not know whether your idea needs the same mix, who is available, who is already committed elsewhere, or how the work and the budget should be divided. Those are judgement calls on a specific proposal, and no amount of public data answers them.
Building the actual consortium — finding the partners, agreeing the roles, and writing it so it survives an evaluation — is what Scientific Network Management does. Free either way; the radar does not change if you never ask.
Finding the call is the easy half. Scientific Network Management is the grant-writing practice behind this radar — 13 years of writing and managing EU-funded research projects, including two EuropeAid technical assistance contracts building biotechnology centres in Türkiye as Team Leader.
